The Augusta Chronicle reports Damon Evans told the Exchange Club of Augusta that Georgia would host South Carolina for 7:45 pm kickoff. I'm guessing this means that our game will air on ESPN while UCLA at Tennessee will be an ESPN2 night game.

Evans also said that he expects Georgia to play around five night games on the season. Since it's extremely unlikely that he meant 5 home night games, I have to assume he meant overall. That sounds about right to me.

Update: Jim emailed me. He thinks ESPN2 for us because Ohio State hosts USC on ESPN that night. Fair enough.

Yeah. We blow in home night games. See: Last year Bama. '07 USC. '06 Tennessee. '05 Auburn. It's time for change we can believe in. And it starts with kicking some ass on national TV to show the dawgs are back.

These are the games that richt has played at night(7:45) at home. 2001-2002South Carolina- lost 14-92002-2003Clemson- Won 31-282003-2004None2004-2005None2005-2006South Carolina- Won 17-15Auburn- lost 31-302006-2007Tennessee- lost 51-332007-2008None2008-2009Alabama-lost 41-30

There are a bunch of games that have kicked off at 5:30 on ESPN2 and we have won a good bit of them. Bottom line is we dont lose because its a 7:45 game, when its a 7:45 game, its usually a pretty good team we are playing.
